Customer information regarding ORABOND 1346, 1359 und 1349

Without notice a supplier of ORAFOL Europe GmbH has to supply a raw material for adhesive production, which takes place in using for the production of ORABOND 1346 ORABOND 1359 and ORABOND 1349 discontinuation.

We would therefore inform you that these product qualities are no longer produced on the basis of the AD8 and AD16 adhesives for industrial applications of Orafol.

Orafol has initiated an internal review of alternative products. Using the AD7 PSAs ORABOND 1349 and 1359 can be replaced by ORABOND 1358 for ORABOND 1346 a new version is presented in a timely manner with the item number 1347, which may also be made based on the AD7-pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Since the PSA AD7 is already long in use in industrial application in ORABOND 1358 (and 1348), we believe that an immediate transition can be made smoothly.

Because we can supply you about the currently confirmed orders but only up to a limited extent with the ranges 1346, 1349 and 1359 your client advisor will on request get in touch with you to discuss further or future orders and requests for discuss material samples.

The bonding technology has become one of the main connection technologies for multi-material design in the automotive industry. 833,000 tons and 164,000 tons of adhesives sealants were produced in 2014 in Germany, of which 17% (in 2013) solely for the automotive industry, ie Rail and motor vehicles. Average 130-160 m bond line are installed in a passenger car which corresponds to 15-18 kg adhesive. And the prospects that these volumes will rise are well. Thus, the number of vehicles produced worldwide continues steadily; is forecast car sales from a year up to 92 million units in 2025. The latest trends in the automotive industry promise a positive impact on the bonding technology:
